Subject: PhD position "Evolutionary ecology of life cycle regulation"
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I am looking to hire a new ambitious PhD student to a project on “Evolutionary ecology of life cycle regulation” that will focus on the evolution of life cycle timing in situations where insect species show shifts in voltinism. In particular the new project
aims at exploring Ecological genetics and genomics of seasonal life cycle regulation and will explore the genomic background and genetic architecture of adaptations for seasonal plasticity across several different points of the life cycle. Moreover,
we will aim to test fitness effects of this genetic variation in both field and laboratory experiments.
The project will contain aspects of both field and laboratory work to study the ecology, genetics and genomics of life cycle timing in several species of temperate butterflies. The prospective student will sample replicated populations and do controlled laboratory
studies of how phenotypic adaptations and associated genetic variation is changing across shifts in voltinism. Finally, we plan to do use reciprocal transplant experiments to test the adaptive significance of local difference in these adaptations.
I would be very grateful if you could forward this information to suitable candidates in your labs, or elsewhere, that would enjoy doing a PhD in Stockholm.
The closing date is Dec 15 and the full add and instructions of how to apply is found at:
Thanks!
Karl
